Sawant accuses Chief Election Commissioner of corruption amid Delhi protests

In the same statement, the Shiv Sena lawmaker targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging corruption and inaction. Sawant referenced a recent Supreme Court remark questioning the handling of an FIR, demanding transparent evidence of any wrongdoing.

He warned that without accountability, the commission cannot command public confidence, especially as political parties gear up for upcoming state elections in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
